Pain can be measured,
grief is immeasurable,
and most will see both.

When dialoguing with mirrors
nothing concrete or certainties
only reflections of our times
 impressions of moments.
 nothing further clearer... !...

Let me touch
the curve
of your cornea,
I’ll share
my own
convexity,
each,
my blue 
and
yours, 
linked visions,
hallucinations,
certainties
and sinister,
right
and
left, 
quality,
quantity,
inverted worlds....

Quenched beyond compare,
Bathed in endless springs of peace,
Reason has no business here,
Stripped of certainties,
Soaked in wisdom, cleansed in truth
While immersed in love, yokes flee.

A Memory
By: Tom Wright 
8/24/2005

My remembering days are spending fast
I’ve thought at length of certainties to be.
Things revered, in my mind shall be cast
Until time’s flow, makes a memory of me.

often we dwell on the what if's instead of future certainties,the power to understand that
we choose to never live in the past but hold dear its lessons should encourage a mindful
fortitude that reassures our resilient nature,to live with no regrets now that is  living....

creativity 
requires the courage to let 
go of certainties

creativity
requires the hope in seeing
possibilities

creativity
comes from trusting your instincts
instead of your fear

creativity
is the power to connect 
the unconnected

creativity
takes courage, mindfulness, and
curiosity...

Spheres of refined frequencies
pure perception certainties
home of newborn child blessings
motion of extended presence
arising dream of multiple self
constellations speak for themselves
wandering faith meets destiny
chosen souls through eternity
journeys of invocation
spirits of delight equation
sincere emotion captured
love wisdom sculptured...

I've been here for so long
trying to soften the dullest words
digging madly inside of me
in search of the prettiest nugget
but when I finally gave up
recognizing to be made of pure gravel
I heard the beautiful cracking sound
of certainties shattering
attesting that maybe
what i believed was horrible in me
could be the best thing I ever had...

It is like all the other certainties

Were pipedreams reflective of the confusion you felt

When I walked in,

I walked in; into your chaos 

Without knowing I added to it

Instead of retracting you swept me up

Causing more turmoil

Now we are floating on a carpet of disorder

Destination self-destruction

no
    one
           listens
dreams
      remain
           dreams:
wearied
            eyes
            full
            of
            certainties
now
      befuddled:
and
     no
        one
              listens,
or
   hears
            the
                  cries
from
     the shadows       
                of
                     life...

everything is temporary.
the future will be the past.
all them certainties,
are going to fade away,
and you’ll have nothing to show
only a morbid mind,
obsessed with death’s cold hand
and voices echoing from long ago.
everything is temporary.
what are we going to do?
but dance and laugh
drink and cry.
even your unstoppable greed
will not be a place to hide....

Honesty isn't linear
I'm not being honest with myself
That's how it feels to change my mind
Certainties are now false calls
I could write the rest
Quote Aristotle, I almost did
But I'm lost in doubt
As I start awake when I should sleep
Empty, empty, deep, deep
Thoughts transpire, let them steep
Let it rest, do not keep
I'm so scared
That's the moment, not the end

People turning to food banks
Politicians speak out the same lie
Will they ban energy meters
Democracy crashes
no more certainties
Nights of hypocrisy cringing
By Voting Tory
Party Gate EX PM shreds the  truth
Rodeo cowboys strike
Midnight Clover
We are not Right
least we are not wrong
with none to vote for
the issue of stopping strikes
takes precedence
unbumble these politicians exuberance...

Relationships without wings
opportunities that stings
durability’s ultimate success
believers in possess
congestion of broken heart
temptation detains its art
shadows of inner realities
megalomania certainties
generosity with trumpets
taken into justice
refuge in community
failed by individuality
eyes of highest ideal
values how much to feel
sacrifices in cause of liberty
guilty conscious misery...

You who are about to die will enter,
with thought and mind as hard as a walnut.
Despair; your armour plated heart, better
to preserve your certainties in the rut.
Discomfort visits those whose eyes are shut. 

And we who are about to die salute,
a time well spent, in honor that is mute .
Discard; in superficial rite resound,
and felt life’s throbbing soul down to the root.
Does comfort visit those there in this ground?...

so you want answers...
you want what kind of answer...
there are many kinds...

just easy answers...
dylan says answers blow in...
some with a sweet kiss...

are actions calling...
honest...soft...unpleasant...or...
maybe of escape...

you want certainties...
any answer can sand your soul...
and most are useless...

there is no index...
each answer spawns more questions...
answers are...parents...

Newton saw certainty and laws; then we learned about no certainties in the world of the tiniest particles. Even electrons may be seen 
or may be located where they might be expected or not.  Gravity is so special God used for finetuning the universe of laws and no laws. Just as His law of Love will overturn laws of any court about my guilt and yours. Get finetuned to Jesus, and love certainty when all around is uncertain. Shalom shalom...

No change is made
     in life, changing
     pants and shirt...
     Doesn't move inside
    changing the brand
    of beer or
    wine...
     Nothing changes when reading
    in another language, or
    speaking another language...
    To move, you must
     operate your mind...
    Changing certainties,
    other expectations...
    Exchange the callous soul for
    sweet talk one...
    Overcome fear of life
    to become
    free... !...

Is a seeming something really so..
This word "seem" hedges our certainty
de-sharpens the edges of the object world
which in this moment is the scene we survey..
But on reflection it seems (that word again)
that all observations must begin with
this oft-neglected preface..
Seeming give recognition
to what we can know and the
wool which often diminishes our seeing..
Certainties melt in a wave of seeming
and somehow seeming brings
a wave of Peace......

Angels attend anyone able
to transform thinking toward truth,
believing, bright beautiful beams
surround spiritual species sent
with wonderful ways, wakening
magical, mystical, moments-
God's guardians- gracefully gifted.

Following faithfully forward
each earthly encounter embraces
happy, helpful happenstances.
If inward, inspired instances
conceive, condone certainties-
proof per presentation provides
acceptance- affirming all Angels.

well, these moments are nothing...
I was always alone in life to fly
the inept tongue licked the days
and the certainties didn't hurt afterwards

I need to remember how to remember
the feeling of losing the temper
drive lonely and blind in the dark
until I meet again
the sunbeam that lights up my world
the miracle of clouds being my ground
only there my step is to float
only there I can levitate

you don't understand abandonment
I know all about loneliness and resentment...

until the moment I see you I'm never as sure as the time beforehand
and over and over again,  I cower
My strengths   involve certainties and convictions and 
feelings of power (maybe)

until the day I wake up sad I will never stop believing
the mornings are so hopeful
fresh, promising, and I LOVE myself in them

until I can anticipate you I don't know what to do
time is hurting me, the evenings are so low
I barely believe that this is eluding me,
would one deliberately be so slow...
